A fun little fantasy novella. The characters all had voice from the moment they were introduced, and it quickly became clear they also had depth and history... We get a lot of Alwyn's story in this first installment; I hope to learn more about the things Dain keeps hidden in the future.
And characters aside (though what's a story without good characters) the plot is similarly fun, with depth and intrigue building as the characters' investigation continues. Looking forward to seeing what more they uncover in the sequel
